IMPROVED SCRUBBING-BBUSH.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, DAMIAN MIXDERLE, oi'jSt.Louis, in the county o f St. Louis and State of Mis'- souri, have madecertain new and useful Improvements in Scrubbing-Brushes; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full and true descriptionthereoi', reference being had to the accompanying. drawing and to theletters of referenoemarked thereon.

rlhe nature ot' this Vinvention is in such a construction ofscrubbing-brushes trhat 'additional rows of bristles are added to theopposite heads or double wings of the body of the brush; and, h

Secondly, this invention consists in the peculiar construction of thebrush-board proper, as will hereinafter be more fully described.

To enable those herein skilled to'make and use my said invention, Iwillnow more fully describe.v

Figure 1 of thedrawing represents aside vieu'.

Figure 2, a top plan. y

I construct'my improved brush of4 the body A, usually wood, having thecurved heads or double wings B B.

Furthermore, said body A is properly narrowed in Vthe center in suchmanner as to form al1-accommodating hold, A', for the hand of the user.The hand of the user is thus also suiiicieutly protected, at the sametime not interfering in the use ot' the brush, whilescrubbing with thesame.

The general construction, form, or 'outline of the brush-board A isclearly shown in the figures.v

The brush-board A I provide with a proper series of holes, in which theu'sual bristle-brushes C are inserted, and secured, by wire fastenings,to the bodypiece, in the ordinary well-known manner. f In constructingthe bodyA of the outline presented iu the figures, a large area ofsurface, for the insertion ot' the bristle-brushes G in each of theheads B B', is consequently attained. Thus strength and durability aresecured to those parts of' the brush most subject t-o wear and use.

A layer or wooden covering, D, is secured. to the brush-board, asusual.- y

'A brush is thus constructed, of any size required by the trade,possessing advantages of lasting durability and economy, easily used,and most practically effective in scrubbing the sides and cornersWithout inconvenience to the hands of the user.

y Having thus fully described my said invention,

What I cla-im, and desire to secure by Letters Pa' The brush-boardA,'having segment-heads B B" and narrowed center A', vin combinationwith the
